MITRE ATT&CK
T1059.005 Visual Basic T1566.001 Spearphishing Attachment

The sample exhibits characteristics of a legacy macro virus, specifically identified by 'RSN MACRO VIRUS' markers within its document body and a heuristic firing for OLE_LEGACY_WORDBASIC_MACRO_VIRUS. The presence of AUTOOPEN and AUTOSAVE macros suggests an intent to execute malicious code automatically upon opening or saving the document. This points to a classic macro-based attack vector, likely delivered as a spearphishing attachment.

Heuristics 2

  • ClamAV: Win.Trojan.TWNO-2 critical CLAMAV_DETECTION
    ClamAV detected this file as malware: Win.Trojan.TWNO-2
  • Legacy WordBasic macro-virus markers high OLE_LEGACY_WORDBASIC_MACRO_VIRUS
    OLE Word document contains legacy WordBasic auto-execution macro markers such as AutoOpen plus ToolsMacro/MacroFile/fileMacro/globMacro or named historical macro-virus strings. These old Word 6/95 macro forms are not exposed as a modern VBA project, so normal VBA source extraction can miss them.
